games you bought because ur friends did, how do you feel about em after playing?

i bought battlefield3 only cause my friends did, as i did with halo reach (and 2/3)

i usually enjoy them even if i dont particularly like them, especially if im playing with buds.

i bought magic the gathering and now i cant stop playing.

i havent really bought many games i didnt like even if my friends are the only reason i bought them, how about u?

My friends buy what i reccomend to them because normally i buy most of the new releases worth getting, so i dont really have to worry about it ;p.

MK9. It was such a great purchase.

call of duty and fifa 12 those are the only games casuals no anyway.

black ops was a bad game

i'm buying mw3 for friends otherwise it'll be UC3 and skyrim for nov only. Now its MW3 ps3 and skyrim for pc. I do enjoy mw but i'm just tired of it. mw is hella fun with friends so i don't mind otherwise i'd wait for a price drop for the mw1 expansion.

I've never done this. Most of the games they like I know I won't.

My friends don't recommend me games all that often, it's usually the other way around.

I have 2 friends with vaguely similar taste in games so I take their opinions seriously, the others just go for the big profile shooters, sports games etc. Off the top of my head, I bought Mass Effect, Heavy Rain and VTM: Bloodlines mostly from being recommended them, and was impressed with all 3, but on the whole that doesn't usually happen. I research games myself and know exactly what I want to get.

My friends are mostly multiplayer aficionados- I still play single player games frequently, while they practically never finish a campaign. However, they did recommend TF2 to me, and I got hooked so hard my playtime in it hit over 300 hours. It's really the only game I've actually tried after their recommendation. They try to get me on BF and CoD every year, but I have zero interest in them, so it never happens.

Probably only the Cod series starting at Black OPS. I Bought all of the previous games out of my own desire but the last few were simply purchased because I knew that the majority of my firends list would be playing them, and sometimes I just feel like playing with people I know online and with mic communication. I felt good after, lol. The COD series has a great single player story experience and I usually get about 30-40 hours out of the multiplayer before putting the game down for good.

My boss said LAIR was the best game he ever played.

So I bought it. I am not happy. :|

Mass Effect was a great recommendation.

I actually don't have very many friends that are gamers. Also, I would never purchase a game just because a friend did.

I brought Halo: Reach because some of my friends brought it. I thought it was fun for a week before I got bored, but it's online was good.

Got Dead Island to co-op with a couple of my friends. I thought I'd enjoy it more since I'm such a zombie buff but that game irritated me. It was fun online but I ended up finishing the game by myself and it was just so disappointing. The end game was laughably bad. Shame too, had such a strong introduction.

Most call of duty, battlefield games and dead island. Call of duty and battlefield was whatI expected, Dead Island was a mix.

The few friends I have that are gamers are very casual so I'd never buy games that they like (Call of Duty).

generally speaking i don`t buy games because my friends get them. Part of my mind feels like that its giving into peer pressure(even though they actually don`t) and that if i give in then the communist win or something crazy like that. Closest I think that I ever got to doing that was with SC2. But I really only bought that because I had managed to buy a copy for cheap on ebay and more so that I would maintain the bragging rights that I got that game for such a low price. Seriously, a quick cursory glance on ebay and the cheapest copy that I can find is still higher than what I got it at.

I jumped on XBLA and got 'Limbo' because a mate told me it was a winner.

I owe him a beer.

I recommened that to a friend for when it came out in PSN, it's a great game, :) That secret stage is pure evil though :O

I bought Battlefield 2, pretty much because a friend at the time had it, I liked it a lot, was a good online shooter. Incidently, 1 of the reasons I haven't picked up Battlefield 3 is because none of my friends have it.

I bough Project Gotham Racinf 2 on a recommendation, still to this day my favourite racing game. I also have PGR 2 to thank for introducing me to Toby Lightman, great singer.

I recently bought the Dead Nation DLC Road to Devastation because a friend also bought it, it's ok. Fun in small doses.

The only time I have ever done this (so far) was with Halo Reach.

Ever since I was introduced to Halo.(Via Halo 2) My friend and I have never missed out on a game together so we couldn't break tradition.

It took me a little while to really warm up to the game but now that I actually understand the story and have gotten to know the character (Oh yeah and I don't suck quite as much now heh) I have a pretty good time with it.
